Crafting music that moves through time and emotion.
I’m Fernando, an audio engineer, producer, and musician based in the Hudson Valley.
Over the past decade, I’ve immersed myself in the art of sound, from recording and composing to producing and performing. My passion lies in weaving soulful stories through soundscapes, whether it’s a single melody or a complex score. Music is more than a profession for me—it’s a lifelong love affair with sound.

CISTERN ACTIVATION - BEULAH BAPIST CHURCH
Wilson Ave. is the first single I produced for Brandon Margary. After many experiments with the song's direction, I decided it was best to go with a simple, light approach.
The song does not possess many elements, making it airy and light—a perfect song to relax.

Brandon and I have been making music together for many years.
​
This indie-pop piece is our latest collaboration, and I merged dreamy 80s keyboards with an indie-rock texture to evoke a nostalgic yet modern feel.

2015 Boston International Film Festival - Official Selection.
A man's life is forever changed after experiencing an event that gives him a new and unique perception of the world around him. As he becomes more and more consumed by this alternate reality, he gets even more distanced from everything and everyone he used to know.

bella vista
I grew up listening to my uncles play music - the movement of fingers interacting with the instrument reminds me of the meditative part about being an artist. Bella Vista is a song about the place where my first musical memories were created.

Merengue song inspired by the breeze from an ocean at night.
​

jungle fever
80s pop with a hint of Disco/Funk. This song was inspired by the Spike Lee movie 'Jungle Fever.' And how relevant the perceptions are in the present national movement and a need for a stronger collective conscience.
​
punta cana
Indie pop mixed with R&B and Reggaeton. The song is about visiting one of my favorite places in the world. Punta Cana. Sunny Skies, Blue waters, Spanish Villas by the Sea. It's a song to relax to.

in your eyes
2015, This song is inspired by October in Upstate, NY. Fall is my favorite season, and the song just happened naturally. At the time, I was listening to a lot of John Mayer, and it clearly shows.
play along
This Disco/Funk song is from when I was working day and night. As I look back it taught me something more profound that you often feel tired not because you've worked too much, but you've not invested enough energy into what sparks a light in you.
